BELT-SLIDE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 567,692, dated September 15, 1896.

Application filed September 16, 1895. Serial N0. 562,607. (N0 model.)

To aZZ whomit may concern.-

Be it known that 1, MAX SOHEUER, of New York city, New York, have invented an Improved Belt-Slide, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a slide for belts, which is adapted to engage a ladys skirt in such a manner that the skirt is properly held in place and the belt is prevented from shifting.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a rear perspective View of my improved beltslide. Fig. 2 is alongitudinal section on line 2 2, Fig, 1; and Fig. 3, a perspective view of the frame and catch, showing them disconnected.

My improved belt-slide is composed, essen tially, of three parts: a frame adapted to ento have a tailpiece c in close proximity to bar of, and a head or handle that stands off at some distance from the bar. Against the tailpiece c bears a spring I), which may be formed integral with bar of, if desired. From the head of the catch 0 projects forwardly a gripping device, such as a prong d, adapted to engage a perforation or seat a of frame a. In use the edge of the skirt B is caused to be engaged by the prong d by first opening and then closing the catch upon the skirt. Thus the skirt will be securely attached to the slide, as the free endof the prong will be locked to the frame a, and the skirt is thus prevented from slipping off the prong.

It will be seen that my improved belt-slide is of simple construction, can be easily manipulated, and permits the belt to freely overlapthe upper edge of the skirt.

What I claim is The herein-described belt-slide consisting of a plate having two slots and a central crossbar, said cross-bar at one end having a springtongue cut therefrom, a pair of perforated ears extending at right angles from the outer edges of said cross-bar, and a perforation in the plate below the tongue, a lever having a downwardly and outwardly extending end to bear against the spring-tongue, integral pintles seated in the perforated ears,and a curved pin on the handle or tail of the lever, to fit the perforation in the plate, all substantially as described.
